The Medium

Missable. 

There are 28 Echoes you'll need to find as you play through the game. Some of these will be story-related, some of them will be missable. You can tell if an item has an Echo if you hear whispers coming out from it. To find the Echo on an item, use your Insight () and rotate the item until you see a sliver of light. When you're on the right spot, the sliver will grow. When it pops, the Echo will start to play. 

The location of the Echoes are as follows:

Echo #1

When you reach the parking lot of the Niwa Resort, make your way towards the entrance and stop by the payphone just out front. The Echo is located in the receiver. 




Echo #2

When you get inside of the Niwa Resort, immediately on Marianne's left will be a shoe on the ground. The Echo is located on the shoe. 




Echo #3

After you have to find and use the Old Key (after meeting Sadness for the first time and getting through the elevator), you'll find yourself in a room with a large window. Just below the window on the left is a Telephone. This has the Echo in it. 




Echo #4

Shortly after the previous Echo, you'll eventually pick up the Razor Blade for Edge of Sanity . The first Flesh Wall you cut will lead you to an open room. Head down/left (towards the camera) and you'll find a Bathroom tucked away. The Echo is in the Mirror in the Bathroom. 




Echo #5

After you activate the first Spirit-Well with the Dried-up Sunflower, head towards the exit door, but don't go through it yet. Instead, go left and you'll eventually reach a Bathroom. In the Bathroom sink ther is a Medicine Bottle that has the Echo in it. This will be right next to a Diary Page that you need to pick up for Devouring Darkness . 




Echo #6

When you have to make your way to the Dayroom, you'll quickly learn that you need some Bolt Cutters to actually get in it. Progress forward with the story and you'll end up in a large Pool room. Down in the pool itself, on the left side, is a roadblock sign with "Milicja" on it. The Echo is on this sign.




Echo #7
